The Next Health Care Question

I have a serious What-If question for all my Libertarian and libertarian-leaning friends, concerning the rapidly approaching health care takeover by the Federal government.

First, a basic assumption: 

Let's assume that the Senate shows the same lack of spine that it has many times over and passes a compatrable version to the House abomination, it gets to the President's desk, he signs it, and eventually we end up with the predicted "Single-Payer" health system run entirely by the Federal government, based on taxation, cooercion and theft.

Now, I know, there are still a lot of potential roadblocks to that end-point, but let's assume that it DOES end up there, for the sake of the question I want to ask.

What do we, as Libertarians committed to FREE exchange, VOLUNTARY association and the rest, DO?  Do we use that system at all?  Do we set up a medical "underground"?  How do we live in a system where just breathing requires you to participate in theft and coercion?
